Christmas Pumpkins
I saw them last year at a cute little shop while out with my Mom and Aunt. Pumpkins all decorated up for the Christmas season! Well, I knew I must add them to my decorating for this Christmas. And so since about January it has been on my decorating ideas list in my Christmas notebook - I know, but that is for another story.
This week the decorating process began - it never is anything short of a week. Not that we do that much, but that it just seems to take me time to work my way through the process. . . .
One night I washed the pumpkins. The next night they were painted with a beautiful metalic pearl white craft paint - I really like that paint. And last night they were decorated with pretty, shiny red ribbon, raffia, ornaments, berries, and greenery. And today they found their way to the front porch.
They turned out absolutely wonderful!
In the midst of decorating them last night I swooshed through the den on my way to retrieve the raffia and proclaimed, "I really like my Christmas pumkins!"
"I can tell," responded my husband.
As I am finishing my project, I step back to admire them and once more proclaim how cool they are. My husband gets up from the sofa, joins me in the kitchen to admire my work, and then leaves me to the finishing touches of fluffing bows and cleaning up.
I love that man! Not every guy would put up with such pumpkin craziness!!!
